It's already started...I'm starting to see posts where people want to keep the mean averaging on the istick. I wonder if we will start seeing an influx of reports saying the istick doesn't hit as hard as it used to...I'm not getting the same vape, etc. In order to prevent that, here's the first tip. Turn it up one volt....et voila!

Sigh...facepalm.

Anything that regulates has PWM,.

PWM is used to jack up voltage higher than the battery voltage

It always takes about 12-24 hours before anything besides "label created" shows up. If nothing shows up after a day or so, then I would start getting worried.
On the evape site my tracking says Tracking is currently unavailable. So I copied the number and went to the USPS tracking site and it shows when it was accepted in Akron yesterday, when it arrived in Harrisburg, and when it departed Harrisburg. So evape is not doin there job providing tracking because it is available. I hadn't thought about checking the USPS site for trackin shipments before. Thought I would pass this on. Maybe somebody can use it.

That's interesting, I never use the vendor site to check tracking myself, I always go to whatever carrier for tracking.

As Ricky said, I always use the carrier site for accurate tracking info. And that is the link Evape provided in the email with the correct tracking number. Easier to click on the email link than go to the vendor site, log in and check under your account. Always just go to the source :)

Expected delivery date: Wednesday. :)

The only links in my email are to the evape site. Other vendors give you a link to the carrier. I give links to the carrier. Evape didn't give me a link to USPS or I would have been usin it! If I'm supposed to have that link, it ain't there! :) BTW, I'm not anxious about the delivery, just like to track my packages.

Mine is expected Wednesday as well. Like I said before, I've always been impressed with their shipping.

On a side note, what you said about getting the insurance with your paid shipping, I've got $100 insurance showing on mine, (Free Shipping).

I've paid extra for shipping quite a few times for that reason, I don't think it's necessary with evape though, something to think about next time. :)

Yeah, usually there is a link, but if not, they'll give you the tracking number itself and I just copy and paste it and go into the PO site and paste it there and bookmark that so I can just click on the bookmark to track it.
If they didn't even give you the number, there may be something wrong. Maybe email them or call them unless it was ordered a couple of days ago. Then that should mean that it didn't move at all on the weekend.

Depending on what kind of shipping label it is, the PO told me that on some of the labels, $100 of insurance is standard. I forget exactly which one though

It's possible some settings or security is preventing it from showing, mine shows an active status update when ever I open the email.

I ordered a blue iStick 30W from evape.us three days ago. I'm also waiting to receive shipment of the silver Cloupor Mini 30W I pre-ordered almost a month ago from GearWorst.

I've decided to wait on the iStick 50W, however. Besides not being sure that I need a 50W mod---which would involve getting sucked into buying probably more than one of the new and upcoming sub-ohm monster tanks---I'm not convinced yet that I'll love the larger size of the bigger 50W iStick, although I understand why it was necessary.

More to the point, while the upside to the 4400mAh internal batteries (presumably two 2200mAh LiPos in series) is decent runtime at high wattage vaping, the downside is (or at least I presume it to be) very long recharge times via USB. Even from half-full, a recharge would take---what?---four hours with a one-amp USB wall transformer, and even longer with a 500mA computer connection. Personally, I prefer to swap out batteries and use an external recharger. I have loads of high-capacity 18650s---LGs, Sanyos, purple Efests.

Anyway, we'll see how this all shakes out when the 50W iStick actually hits the market and user reactions are posted.

This is just a confirmation email. Everyone usually gets one. Usually the 2nd email will have your tracking info. :)
